*A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment of choice.All treatments produced significant improvement in OHRQoL. The least amount of improvement was observed in patients with RDPs. OHRQoL changes in patients treated with FDPs and ISFPs were comparable. Swelem et al. Int J Prosthodont. 2014 Jul-Aug;27(4):338-47

The bottom line:

RPD treatment is necessary because patients’ needs will remain and continue to grow. And implants are not likely to replace the needfor RPD because of high cost and

other factors.

Three Key Elements for Long-term Success in RPD Therapy

Support- Resistance to occlusal or vertical seating forces

Stability- Resistance to horizontal or torsional forces

Retention- Resistance to vertical dislodging forces

A RPD should be a well supported, stable, and retentive.

retentive RPD?

Page 13: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Support-Resistance to occlusal or vertical seating forces

Of all three SSR support is the most importantbecause a well supported RPD can effectivelyprotect the remaining structures (teeth, mucosa, and underlying bone)

Page 14: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

SUPPORT- Tooth vs. Mucosa

From:• Rests (tooth support)• Major connectors (mucosal support)• Denture bases (mucosal support)

Page 15: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Rests

The rest should direct functional forces in the long axis of the tooth.

To control the prosthesis in relationship to the teeth and supporting structures

To provide primary support for RPD

Acrylic partial with rests

Page 16: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Imagine a RPD with no rests…

Consequences:Loss of vertical controlRidge resorptionMal-adaptation

It becomes completely mucosal support

Page 17: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Irritated and traumatized soft tissue resulting from a RPD without positive rests

Lack of positive rests results in prosthesis displacement, which can destroy mucosa & periodontal attachment

Pt’s existing partial with no positive rest- 100% mucosal support

Page 18: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Positive RestA positive rest does not allow the prosthesis slide off the tooth or allow the tooth to move out of exiting relationship to other teeth as increased occlusal pressure is exerted.

Positive Circular Concave Rest Seat

Rest center is deeper than the surrounding area (spoon shape)

Page 19: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Ideal Locations for Rests

The teeth adjacent to the edentulous space

Additional teeth at the strategic position with excellent root morphology

Proximal Plates for Stability•Maintain arch integrity by anterior- posterior bracing action

Curvilinear parallel proximal plate

Two or more curvilinear proximal plates can provide side-to-side stability

Page 26: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

RETENTIONRPD design parts enable the resistance to vertical dislodging forces

From:• Retainers/clasps • Proximal Plates on the RPD(guide planes on the tooth)• Indirect Retainers (for extension base RPD only)

Page 27: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Active Retainers for RetentionActive retainer (retainer that engages undercut to provide retention for the RPD)

--the remaining of the retainer is position at/or above the height of contour (except infra-bulge retainers)

-only the tip of the retainer is below the height of contour and engages the desired 0.01-0.02” undercut

Height of contour of the RPD abutment at a given path of insertion

How to design a well supported, stable, and retentive RPD?

The RPD design principles remain the same for the implant-enhanced RPD therapy

Page 29: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Treatment Goals of RPD:

2. Organize interarch function( VDO, Occlusal Plane, Centric)and esthetics

1. Stabilize the individual arch and protect remaining structure

In clinical practice, mandibular distal extension RPDs receive a poor reputation among both dentists and patients. Patients’ appreciation is unpredictable and complaints include food retention underneath the saddle and pain, resulting from the inherited biomechanical disadvantages and the rotational movement under mastication. Patients discontinue wearing them or insist on replacement by a new one at a high rate.

The limitations of the md extension based RPD must be discussed and implant-enhanced RPD for mandibular extension based scenarios should be considered as an alternative option.

In the present study of patients with apoorly functioning bilateral free-ending mandibular RPD, solelyproviding a new RPD proved also being effective.

The addition of implant significantly improved overall quality of the RPD and pt satisfaction

Objective Evaluation

• Masticatory performance was studied by means of a mixing ability test. The flattened wax is then photographed and analyzed A lower Mixing Ability Index (MAI) score implies a better mixed tablet, hence better masticatory performance.

Page 102: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

Objective Evaluation • Masticatory performance was studied by MAI

• Masticatory performance as expressed by the MAI did not change significantly after a new RPD• Masticatory performance was statistically significant improved with implant support, to a level than

prior to treatment and after provision of a new, unsupported RPD. The MAI was comparable to dentate patient group (18.3).

• The implant position, M or PM, had no significant effect on masticatory performanceJensen et al. Clin Implant Dent Relat Res. 2017

The data suggest that patients’ expectations of contentment with an ISRPD were met since no significant difference was seen between expected and actually achieved contentment.

This is seen as an important indicator of the quality of treatment. It enhances the reputation of the health care provider and implant dentistry in general. It transforms new patients into loyal customers and brings new referrals by ‘word of mouth’.

• Mandibular implant support favorably influences oral health related patient-based outcome measures in patients with a bilateral free-ending situation.

• The majority of patients prefer the implant support to be in the molar region.Patient Characteristics:Upper edentulous, lower partial edentulous (Kenney I)Mean age : 60.9 y/oShorter implants: pm site 3.3x 8 mm, molar site 4.1 x 6 mm

Page 105: Implant-enhanced Removable Partial Denture Therapy · •Fixed partial denture (bridge) •Removable partial denture (RPD) *A fixed replacement is usually the preferred treatment

• Implant-retained partial overdentures with resilient attachments are a predictable and cost-effective treatment option for partially edentulous patients.

• When implant is placed to the more distal position which is preferred position based on the OHIP-NL49, an anterior clasp/retainer can not be avoided with esthetic consequences. (pre-treatment informed consent: esthetics versus comfort)

• Published literatures reported comparable high implant success rate and increasing patient satisfaction for removable partial denture associated with implants in the extension-based situations.

Implant Prosthesis Design Concept

3. Implants are mainly designed for retention (from ERAs). Support and stability are mainly from teeth and mucosa

1.Implants’ labially inclined angulation were corrected by custom abutment with ERA plastic patterns

2. Due to the failure history of the other 4 implants, maximize the support by positive rests on #2, 8, 9, 14 and palatal major connector coverage

4. #8 and 9 are splinted and ERAs are designed to maximize theesthetics

Lessons Learned from Pt AB

• Despite the best effort implants sometimes still fail. Prosthodontic contingency plan needs to be discussed during the consult.

• Fewer implants with poor angulation• Support, stability, and retention• Turn a compromised biomechanics situation around to a esthetic treatment

outcome with good long-term prognosis
